6 Claims. (Cl. 221-61) This invention relates to covers or holders forcans, and more particularly to a holder for detachably receiving adispensing can of cleaning powder or the like.

One object of this invention is to provide a holder of the above naturewhich is made of one piece construction open at one end for theinsertion of the dispensing container and having a centrally aperturedtop through which the contents of said container may be shaken out.

A further object is to provide a can holder of the above nature whichmay be ornamented in colors or designs to harmonize with the furnishingsof a room, such as a kitchen, concealing the advertising matter on the,dispensing can.

A further object is to provide a container holder of the above naturewhich will be simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easyto assemble and manipulate, compact, ornamental in appearance, and veryefficient and durable in use. 1

With theseand other objects in view there has been illustrated on theaccompanying drawing one form in which the invention may, beconveniently embodied in practice.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a perspective View of the dispensing can holder.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View of the same,

A the position ofthe dispensing can being indicated by dotted lines.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the same, the sectionbeing taken along the line 33 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of thearrows.

Referring now to the drawing in which like reference numerals denotecorresponding parts beads on its upper and lower edges, and in which thespace between said beads is filled with a wrapping flush with saidbeads. Itis also adapted to receive a cylindrical can without beadsandwith or without a wrapper.

In order to detachably secure the can 17 within the holder shell 10,provision is made of a series of inwardly pressed pairs of vertical ribs18 formed on the wall of said shell 10 and extending substantially theentire length thereof. The pairs of ribs 18, four in this instance, are

equally spacedabout the circumference of the shell 10, and are adaptedto frictionally engage, the outer wall of the dispensing can 1'7 when itis in assembled position. Located adjacent the upper edge of the holdershell 10 is an inwardly pressed annular rib 19 which is providedso thatI in case it is attempted to insert cans or containers of other typesfromthat for which the holder is intended, such for example as a canhaving the top bead larger in diameter than the remainder of said can,the upper bead on the unauthorized 7.

holder 10 which will not scratch any surface upon which it is likely tobe supported.

' While there has been disclosed in this specifi cation one form inwhich the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that thisform is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that theinvention is not to be limited to the specific disclosure but may bemodified and embodied in various other forms without departing from itsspirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications andembodiments coming 9 within the scope of the following claims. 7 Havingthus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new and for whichit is desired to secure Letters Patent, is: a

1. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical 9 shell open at its lowerend and having an inwardly extending flange integral with the upper edgethereof, the aperture inside of said flange surrounding the dispensingportion of said can, and a plurality of inwardly extending vertical ribsformedin the wall of said shell for frictionally clamping upon adispensing can assembled therein.

2. In adispensing can holder, a cylindrical shell open at its lower endand having an inwardly extending flange integral with the upper edgethereof, theaperture inside of .said flange surrounding the dispensingportion of said can, a plurality of inwardly extending vertical 110 ribsformed the wall of said shell for frictionrality of longitudinalinwardly extending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of acontainer as sembled therein.

4. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at itslower end, an inwardly extending downwardly inclined flange integralwith the upper edge of said shell and defining a central aperturetherein, said shell having a pin-- rality of pairs of longitudinalinwardly extending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of acontainer assembled therein.

5. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at itsbase end for receiving a can inserted from below, said holder having adished top provided with a central aperture; a reinforcing flared lippedbead formed on the edge of said aperture, a plurality of inwardly anddownwardly extending ribs formed longitudinally on the sidewalls of saidshell, said shell having an inwardly extending annular bead am- 'acentthe top end of said shell, and an outwardly rolled strengthening beadformed at the lower open end of said shell.

6. In a dispensing can holder, a cylindrical holder shell open at itslower end, an inwardly extending downwardly inclined flange integralwith the upper edge of said shell and defining a central aperturetherein, said shell having a plurality of longitudinal inwardlyextending ribs for frictionally engaging the walls of a containerassembled. therein, said shell also'having an annular inwardly extendingrib near the top thereof forfrictienally engaging the wall of said can.
